I had a very concerning eye condition that had been misdiagnosed and mistreated by another doctor while out of town. I called Ford Eye Center and they told me to come right in ( even though I was a new patient and it was a Friday afternoon an hour before they were supposed to close). The staff w…

The previous reviewer was an idiot. There is NO Dr. Key-Whitman. The doctor I saw was completely professional - he doesn't have to be "friendly" - i just want someone to take care of my eye problems. The clinic was immaculate, the staff were all friendly, outgoing and competent in…

Dr. Pham exceeded my expectations both in terms of courtesy and professionalism. I was able to get an appointment on the same day that I called. The sign-in process and wait to be seen were both very short. Dr. Pham listened to my concerns, asked insightful questions and wrote me a prescription …

I think Dr Barton is great! Office personel helped with my insurance, Dr Barton was prompt and got me in contacts the same day. His optician helped me and my son with glasses that I got in 2 days, and my son has a very high difficult prescription. Overall, I spent a lot less than I expected. …

Do not use this establishment for anything! My son went here for contacts, he was giving the wrong contacts, I had to take him to another doctor to get new contacts. I needed a receipt for the appointment, when I recieved it via fax from this office I noticed $130.00 credit. Was I ever told a…

Tips & Advice

What happens during a visit with an ophthalmologist?

While the first appointment is the most comprehensive, the majority of appointments with an ophthalmologist begin with a basic eye exam followed by a refraction to test if glasses are needed. Other tests might include an eye muscle coordination exam, a check of pupil response and peripheral vision, slit lamp microscope test to look at the anterior segment of the eye, and an intraocular pressure assessment.

How much does a visit with an ophthalmologist cost?

Most eye doctors will charge different amounts for their services, but a basic eye exam with an ophthalmologist can range from $50 to $300. Additional tests and treatment will add to the price.

The most popular ophthalmology procedures are cataract, laser eye treatment, and glaucoma surgeries.

What types of surgeries do ophthalmologists perform?

Ophthalmologists can perform cataract and basic glaucoma surgeries as well as those pertaining to retinal detachments, strabismus (crossed-eyes) in children, and corneal transplant, among others.

What type of insurance is required for ophthalmology services or surgery?

The type of coverage in your healthcare plan may or may not include ophthalmologic services and procedures. Be sure to check which type of eye care is included and what must be paid for out of pocket.

What education is required for an ophthalmologist?

To become an ophthalmologist, students must complete undergraduate coursework, complete medical school, and participate in a three-year residency program. Once these requirements have been fulfilled, ophthalmologists must sit for and pass the board examination to earn their license to practice.

What is the difference between an ophthalmologist, optometrist, and optician?

While all concentrate on the eye, an ophthalmologist is the only one of these three professions that is licensed to perform surgical procedures. Optometrists fit in between ophthalmologists and opticians as they are able to diagnose eye conditions and prescribe corrective lenses. Opticians, on the other hand, design and fit eyeglasses, frames, and contact lenses based on prescriptions from optometrists and ophthalmologists.

What is ophthalmology?

Ophthalmology is medical science concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders, conditions, and diseases of the eye.

I had a very concerning eye condition that had been misdiagnosed and mistreated by another doctor while out of town. I called Ford Eye Center and they told me to come right in ( even though I was a new patient and it was a Friday afternoon an hour before they were supposed to close). The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and extremely efficient. Dr Blair is one of the most caring doctors I have ever met and I have been in the medical field for over 20 years. I was terrified and he calmed me down, explained my condition and how we were going to treat it. One week later I am healed! I can't say enough about this wonderful doctor and his staff! I will NEVER go anywhere else!
